Q

Bursae

A

Fluid-filled sacs around many synovial joints: potential space

Function to reduce friction as structures slide on one another thus

Located between layers of muscles

Q

Functions of articular discs

A
  • Shock absorbers
  • Permit different movements to occur in the joint
  • Aid mechanical fit between articular surfaces
  • Restrain movement
  • Assist lubrication
